Designer/Data Visualizer

Are you a Visual Designer, Communications Designer or Illustrator with deep experience in infographics, data visualization and visual literacy? Do you believe a picture is worth a thousand words? Do you proudly display Edward Tufte’s books on your shelf? Do you have a passion for creating “cognitive art” -- visuals and illustrations that depict empirical data, insights and trends? Do you doodle customer journey maps? If so, please read on…

The ideal candidate will be someone with strong visual design, data visualization, illustration and infographic skills. This person will help the team simplify and translate research and analytical data into highly polished visual expressions and illustrations for internal communication.

This person will need to be part designer, illustrator, information sponge and story teller. You’ll need to quickly develop an understanding of the research, key insights, and the story behind the information before rapidly iterating and collaborating with the team on different visual communication approaches.

In addition to data visualization, you’ll also be helping to support the team with templates, concepts, frameworks, style guides and ideas to enable the team to do some of the work themselves and/or leverage production staff.

The work will be rewarding in several ways – you’ll be a hero to a team of researchers because you’re helping make their work even more compelling, and you’ll be helping the broader organization discover and pursue their newest opportunities.

Responsibilities:
• Collaborate with user researchers and strategists to distill, interpret and visualize data and key insights to produce impactful visualizations and illustrations
• Rapidly iterate through visualization and illustration approaches with the team to meet deliverable deadlines
• Build out a variety of templates and job aids for the research and strategy team, applying corporate branding standards where appropriate
